Why we exist: Oumi is on a mission to make frontier AI truly open for all. We are founded on the belief that AI will have a transformative impact on humanity, and that developing it collectively, in the open, is the best path forward to ensure that it is done efficiently and safely.

Oumi also develops open foundation models in collaboration with academic collaborators and the open community.

Our Approach: Oumi is fundamentally an open-source first company, with open-collaboration across the community as a core principle. Our work is:

  • Community-powered: We believe in the power of open-collaboration and welcome contributions from researchers and developers worldwide

Role Overview

We are looking for a Developer Relations professional who is as comfortable diving into code as they are hosting community events. You will play a crucial role in growing, fostering, and engaging a vibrant community of developers, researchers, and other stakeholders passionate about open-source AI.

  • Event Management: Organize and host both online and offline events (e.g., webinars, workshops, hackathons) that foster community interaction, skill-building, and knowledge sharing around AI and open-source projects.

  • Feedback Collection: Gather, analyze, and synthesize community feedback to inform product roadmaps, documentation improvements, and overall platform experience enhancements.

  • Collaboration: Work closely with engineering, product, and research teams to stay abreast of new features and roadmap changes, ensuring the community is kept informed and engaged.

  • Open Source Engagement: Serve as a champion for Oumi’s open-source projects, helping community members navigate contribution processes and guiding them toward meaningful contributions.

  • Community Advocacy: Advocate internally for the needs and perspectives of developers and researchers, ensuring that community insights drive decision-making across the organization.

  • Platform Promotion: Promote and drive adoption of the Oumi platform within developer communities and enterprise settings, highlighting key features, best practices, and success stories.

  • Ecosystem Partnerships: Cultivate relationships with other open-source communities, organizations, and individuals to expand Oumi’s reach and foster collaboration.

What you’ll bring:

  • Technical Experience: Hands-on experience with AI/ML frameworks, DevOps pipelines, or similar development environments. You can comfortably create and explain technical demos and code snippets.

  • Developer Relations Background: Proven track record in developer advocacy, technical community management, or developer evangelism—preferably in open-source projects.

  • Strong Communication Skills: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to distill complex technical concepts into clear, engaging materials for diverse audiences.
